I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.

Obviously, I'll keep fighting to uphold the Constitution.

This is the sheriff you're talking about, with a gun and badge that enforces the law. Nothing is going to stop me from cracking down on illegal immigration as long as the laws are there.

I have a strong constitution.

I'm a defender of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

I'm supposed to enforce the laws of the land.

I'm thinking about governing as the governor of this state, and that's what I'm going to do.

I am running to fix the economy, restore the constitutional system of checks and balances and to end this game of crony capitalism by the ruling class in Washington.

I'm very proud that 40 sheriffs have endorsed me.
